Does your dog eat poop? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sorry I can't help out b/c I have tried everything:

Forbid
Deter
ACCENT
Solid Gold (Stop Eating Poop)
Pinapples
Spinach
Brewer's Yeast Tablets
HOT sauce on the poop
HOT sauce in the poop
Hot Horseradish ON and IN the poop

NONE of the above has worked for TJ and Roxy. This has been going on since last May, everyday...I can say though, it is getting better. We are on a better poop schedule and I grab it a lot more oftern. I get the morning poops and the night poops. During the day when I am not home is the only problem, but for the last month the day poop only looks sampled.

What I am doing is 'highly' praising and kissing and giving treats after the poop in their box. I am hoping to distract them from want to go back and eat it. Also, I still continue to give them a Brewer's Yeast (and garlic) tablet every morning. Plus, I have been mxing a little bit of this stuff called ProZyme (sp?) in with their morning wet food. ProZyme is natural and it helps with food digestion etc..

I also read somewhere that it could help with the poop eating, b/c it seems to make it smell (and taste, I guess) unappealing...

Anyway, I seem to have only poop 'samplers' now!

GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!!!!!!!

Chloe is almost 7 months old and has been doing this since we brought her home. I get so grossed out over it. She has been on Science Diet Puppy bites ever since she was at the breeders home and we stuck with feeding her that here. It is supposed to be one of the best dog foods. We took her to the vet explained on how much she would eat her poop and he gave us some stuff to sprinkle in her food. We used all the packets he gave us and it did not work at all. She is still NOT housebroken despite all our efforts. If we don't catch her the second she poops, she will eat it. So terribly disgusting!

Mine have done this before and I purchased the big container of Adolfs Meat Tenderizer with the little top that you can sprinkle it on your food. I sprinkle it on the dogs food and it takes about a week of consistanly doing this and it has worked for me every time. I have even done it with puppies. I dont know why they would EVER want to eat poop, but as you can see in these posts, they think its dessert or something. EWWW!!

Try it and see if it works. Deter did not work for mine. Good Luck!

Teddy never has, but let me tell U ol' Tiffanie would in a heart beat! But since she got pregnant and had the babies I haven't seen her doing it @ all...And she don't even eat the babies! Oh that's a habit we won't miss...I don't think any of the puppies are doing it and I hope they don't start! LOL ! Hugs, Lee

Baby used to love to eat cat poo!! I hated it ! I would catch her doing it and she'd run away with it in her mouth. She finally stopped though.

My daughters, Kristens baby, Rascal likes to eat poop.. it is soooooooo Gross... I have to clean it up quick before he starts to gobble it down...

Peaches on the other hand is such a priss.. we have a 4 foot around swimming pool w/ a fence around it filled w/ pea pebbles for them to do their buisness in... and she acts so prissy in there like... Oh Mommy, must I really have to stand in the same place I do my buisness.. as she hold up one paw in the air... she goes and runs straight over putting her front paws up on the fence and start whining ... as if to tell me please get me out of this dirty place.. and believe me.. everytime they poop in there it is scooped out right then in there.
